The Kingdom of God
‘The reign of God was manifest in the deeds of Jesus.
As presented in his teaching and work it is essentially God’s Kingdom,
not ours….Jesus had come to do what the Jewish Law could never accomplish
– to restore God’s damaged and perverted creation to its original destiny.’
Alan Richardson in A Theological Word Book of the Bible. p. 120-121.
God’s kingdom is among us as we read the gospels,
and as we ‘be as Christ’ to our neighbour. To God be the power and the glory.
Nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’
For, in fact, the kingdom of God is among you.”
Luke 17: 21
Mothers’ Union in All Ireland respond to the perennial problems
of gender-based violence, and the many who are alone
and dispossessed in modern society. Members bring Christ’s love
with personal interaction at community events.
May those whom they meet see the Reign of God breaking in.
